Join us today at 11 AM for a special Restaurant Week-themed chat with food critic Ann Limpert. Want to know which places are worth booking, and which you should skip? Looking for pro tips? Leave a question below, and Ann will get to as many as she can (and if you’ve got a non-Restaurant Week-related question, feel free to ask that, too).

Ann: Good morning, chatters! Hope you’ve had a great week. I’m excited to talk Restaurant Week—the good, bad, the meh—and whatever else is on your minds.

But first, let’s talk about the newly revamped Mirabelle.I slipped in for lunch this week, and the only thing that feels similar about the place is that formal, maroon-and-brass dining room. Keith Bombaugh’s menu pulls in lots of different influences (including a Moroccan chicken tagine), but my favorite plates were the New England-accented ones. The lobster roll vol au vent feels more Versailles than beach-shack (no hotdog buns here), but it’s wonderfully decadent, with plenty of sweet lobster meat, a flaky pastry shell, and a super-rich custard at the bottom. But the dish I can’t wait to get back there for is the duo of clams—that sounds a lot fancier than it is—with perfectly fried ones on one side and steamed ones on the other. Plus, a trio of sauces, an extra-herby tartar, an Old Bay aioli, and drawn butter for the steamed guys. Incongrous with the luxe space? Totally. But close your eyes and for a second you feel like you might be in Gloucester (the peppy, funked-up soundtrack helps).
